Menir do Outeiro

Menir do Outeiro
The stone was discovered on its side in 1969 and was raised again about a year later.

The granite monolith is 5.6 m high and weighs an estimated 8 tonnes. It is the second largest in Portugal. The top has a hollow of 30 cm in diameter, which is believed to represent a urethra, thus giving rise to the understanding that the megalith symbolizes a phallus.
